Chapter 43: The Bloody Battle in the Docklands (Part I)
The melodious sound of the flute fluttered in the city of Heming, but people were not in the mood to appreciate the music, and the flute was accompanied by a frenzied swarm of rats.
The most dangerous thing is the large outlet in the dock area.
Jiang Shang was not mistaken, and the dock area, which had weak defenses and a large population, became the focus of the beast's attack.
Where is the main sewer outlet for industrial wastewater to flow into the sea in Haiming City, the pipe network is dense, and at this time, it has become the most suitable outlet for rats to enter the city.
If you look down from the sky, you can see that the rats the size of kittens are as dense as a carpet, and the whole land is dyed black.
The single magic rat is weak and pitiful, even the domestic cat can try to hunt, but when this layer of biological carpet has been paved several layers thick, when the magic rats have been superimposed on the rat pressure rat, the rat squeezes the rat, the quantitative change reaches the qualitative change, and an irresistible wave is formed.
Fangs and claws, with corrosive negative soul energy, can be digested by walls, mountains and mountains, and no creature can stop these beasts that have been hungry and crazy for a long time.
This black wave is washing over the city, and there is not an inch of land left where the waves pass.
And that's just the beginning.
The outcasts can't be so simple, but the countless demon rats are just pioneers, and then, in the shadows, many rat people have walked out onto the streets.
The rat-headed human body, although it has the same intelligence as ordinary people, and although its appearance is somewhat similar to that of the rat orcs, it is completely two creatures.
As rat orcs, the new humans are still humans, their living habits are no different from ordinary humans, and their bones, flesh and organs are mainly humans, even the most seriously beastly orcs are often only two or three limbs partially beastified.
Unlike the latter, which has some beast characteristics, the limbs of the abandoned beast rat people are all three-fingered claws, and they are covered with foul-smelling long hair, the tail on their backs, and the whiskers on their noses, all of which have the same characteristics, and the red rat eyes are full of bloodthirsty light.
They, who crave human flesh and soul, are out-and-out monsters.
The monsters that stormed the city wall before were only mercenaries of the Outcasts, and these rats were the real members of the Outcasts.
For some time now, they have been lurking outside the city, carefully grazing the rats, waiting for orders from their masters.
And they mingled with the rats, feasting on the taste of flesh with their plague and venomous claws and fangs.
The combat power attached to their own race is not worth mentioning, but at the same time, the intelligent race can be strengthened through learning, and the strategy of falling into darkness is more dangerous than the claws, and at this time, they are the core of the rat pack.
Whistle after whistle, whip sweep back and forth, rat swarm adjusting the direction of the attack.
Just like a shepherd, a simple whistle represents a variety of commands, and these rat people are herding rats!
And these rat men are still just grassroots battlefield commanders, and the melodious flute sound is like an invisible baton, commanding remotely on the battle situation in the entire city.
And dancing with the sound of the flute, there are mutated demon rats one by one.
The arrow rats with sharp and sharp hairs like swords, the scavenging rats that do not exude a foul smell and the Black Death, and the big demon rats that are similar to lions in terms of individual and violent personalities, they are the advancement and mutation of the demon rats, and if the ordinary demon rats are ordinary soldiers, they are experienced special forces.
Even, in the most dense place of the rat colony, there are several rat-man spellcasters wearing robes.
There are grassroots soldiers, there are strong attacking arms, there are battlefield commanders, there are commanders, and even mages, where is this herd of beasts, it is obviously a kingdom, an army that has experienced a hundred battles.
At this point, the identity of the outcast is already clear at a glance.
He is indeed Hamel, the piper from Hamel, the king of the Nezumi kingdom, and the Black Death who brought the Black Death to German folktales!
S-class threat, public enemy of humanity, wanted criminal of the gods, pied piper who uses the sound of a flute to drive out rats, take away children, and establish his own kingdom.
As Hong Ling said, every abandoned clan that survives the mythological era is super trouble, and they often represent a family or even a country by themselves, and now, what Jiang Shang and Haiming City have to face is a whole nezumi kingdom!
From the beginning, the Piper was cheating, he and his people had been waiting for an opportunity, and Catelo, who was greedy, gave him this opportunity.
Even if the shapeshifters can infiltrate the city, for humans who are familiar with their routines, repeated security checks and soul energy irradiation from various important departments and facilities can make them hide.
And the greedy Catelo used his men and reputation to make their behavior of opening various passages all the way unimpeded.
Regular spot checks and inspections? I'm from the Security Bureau, check what I'm doing.
Identity check and soul irradiation? This is a full set of documents and identification, which has just been issued by the Security Bureau, and is absolutely authentic and reliable.
The Parik Chamber of Commerce used its own actions to explain what it means to open the door and steal and kill yourself.
Thereupon...... The Pied Piper and his family surprise Catelo.
From the very beginning, the Piper would not be satisfied with just sniping a Star Soul Envoy, what he wanted was the flesh and soul of 300,000 humans in the entire Heming City.
"In the alleys, in the gutters, in the sewers, everywhere is our house.
"You have not discovered that under your feet, in your shadow, there is a kingdom of darkness, which is our kingship."
In the eerie sound of the flute, in the chorus of the rat people, the absurd bar minor resonates in an echo.
"The King? Archmage? What is the law? Morality? The rules of humanity have nothing to do with me. We are born ace thieves, shuttling through the shadows, able to wriggle under the floor in the form of rats, small spaces, strong barriers, worthless. “
"Hey, bro, you're going to like us."
Accompanied by the flute of the piper, all the rat people are singing, as if they are enjoying a banquet.
"So don't you want to be a king of thieves? Walking through the underground shijie, eating, drinking and rolling in any vault, every mouse is your eyes and ears, and the trip will not be very pleasant.
"You'll quickly get used to the dirty, you'll love the smell of rotting meat, and you'll even be able to think of a pile of as a mountain of gold."
"I can teach you how to survive, don't be afraid, don't care about the cost, although ......"
“…… As long as you survive after our nibbling. Perhaps, you won't want to see the sun again! ”
They are eating, they are also multiplying, and the mad blood of the nezumi cursed by the gods can spread through biting.
They are choosing, they scratch, gnawing on everyone.
Their bites are not fatal, but they contain far more viciousness than any toxin.
The common plague can cause people to die of internal organs and high fever, but the special plague that comes with the rat people still bears the imprint of the race, and if the sick person is strong enough to survive the deadly plague period, the more troublesome curse begins.
They bite at their hunting targets, but they don't kill them, and they use the plague that comes with them to choose food and future kindreds.
The mad blood of the nezumi spreads along with the plague, and if they are not treated in time, they will also become a nezumi at the seventh dawn after infection.
Weak humans will naturally die of plague and viruses, poisoned or diseased, and if they are strong enough to survive, they will welcome a new kindred as they sing in their ugly songs.
